The Cuban Elite League (Spanish: Liga Élite del Beisbol Cubano, or LEB), is a baseball league in Cuba. It debuted in 2022 as the highest level of the Cuban baseball league system, playing a winter league. Beginning with the 2023-24 season, the Elite League comprised the top six teams from the summer-time Cuban National Series (SNB). In 2025, the Elite League shifted to a summer schedule, with the SNB returning to a winter schedule.

The league was formed in an effort to maximize the quality of Cuban baseball, bringing it closer to the other professional winter leagues of the Caribbean. Professional baseball was abolished in Cuba in 1961. A desire to bring together the best players from the National Series, as well as address the drain of Cuban talent from the island to more financially lucrative foreign leagues, contributed to the change of format in the league's second season (2023-24). Similar competitions had previously existed in the form of the Selective Series (1975-1995) and the Copa Revolución (1996-97).
